1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of the uxcell DC 12V 300mA 1300ml Water Flow Self Priming Diaphragm Micro Water Pump. Please read these instructions thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper function and longevity of the product.
This micro water pump is designed for various applications requiring liquid circulation and transfer, such as in coffee machines, water dispensers, and experimental models.
2. Safety Information
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply matches the pump's specifications (DC 12V). Incorrect voltage can damage the pump or pose a safety hazard.
- Water Safety: This pump is designed for water and similar non-corrosive liquids. Do not use with flammable, corrosive, or highly viscous fluids.
- Installation: Installation should be performed by individuals with appropriate technical knowledge. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks and electrical shorts.
- Operation: Do not run the pump dry for extended periods, as this can cause damage.
- Maintenance: Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
3. Product Overview
The uxcell Micro Water Pump is a compact, self-priming diaphragm pump suitable for various liquid transfer tasks. Its design emphasizes low noise and stable performance.
3.1 Key Features
- Self-priming function for convenient operation.
- Low noise output during operation.
- Easy installation and stable performance.
- Compact and lightweight design.
3.2 Components
The pump consists of a DC motor, a diaphragm pumping mechanism, and inlet/outlet ports. The main body is constructed from plastic and metal components.

4. Setup
- Mounting: Secure the pump in a stable position. While the pump is compact, proper mounting helps reduce vibration and noise.
- Tubing Connection: Connect appropriate tubing to the water inlet and outlet ports. The water hole inner diameter is 4mm (0.16"). Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to a DC 12V power source. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) to ensure proper operation. The pump's terminals are small; soldering or secure crimp connections are recommended for reliable contact.
- Priming: As a self-priming pump, it can draw liquid from a lower level. However, for initial setup, ensuring the inlet tubing is submerged in liquid can aid in faster priming.

5. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Once all connections are secure and the inlet is submerged in liquid, apply DC 12V power to the pump.
- Flow Monitoring: Observe the liquid flow. The pump has a maximum flow rate of 1300 ± 50 ml/min.
- Continuous Operation: The pump is designed for continuous operation within its specified parameters. Avoid running the pump dry.
- Power Off: Disconnect the power supply to stop the pump.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check tubing for kinks, blockages, or wear. Inspect electrical connections for corrosion or looseness.
- Cleaning: If the pump's performance degrades due to sediment or mineral buildup, flush it with clean water or a mild descaling solution (if compatible with the pump's materials). Ensure the pump is thoroughly rinsed afterward.
- Storage: If storing the pump for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start. | No power, incorrect voltage, loose electrical connections, incorrect polarity. | Verify power supply (DC 12V), check all electrical connections, ensure correct polarity. |
| No water flow or low flow. | Inlet not submerged, air in system, clogged tubing/filter, pump running dry, internal blockage. | Ensure inlet is fully submerged. Check for air leaks in tubing. Clear any blockages in tubing or pump. Do not run dry. |
| Excessive noise during operation. | Air in system, pump running dry, vibration from mounting, internal wear. | Check for air in the system. Ensure pump is not running dry. Secure mounting. If noise persists, internal components may be worn. |
| Leaks from connections. | Loose tubing connections, damaged tubing. | Tighten tubing connections. Replace damaged tubing. |
